Seems like a lot of the fish being displayed at the All Japan Show this year were of that idea. Don't get me wrong, there were also many with a white shoulder break. These tosai were all selected for the ability to grow out and have nice big fish patterns. I can tell you that these were in Maruyama's secret green house. One pond with about 500 or so fish and nearly every single one was patterned similar to these. Maybe his typical step patterns are being kept somewhere else as tategoi and we were not allowed to see them.
